Federal Cognizant Agency
Note: the cognizant agency concept was established by OMB, under which a single agency represents all other agencies in dealing with specific areas of a grantee. In Notre Dame’s case, the Department of Health and Human Services is responsible for reviewing and approving indirect cost rate(s), fringe benefit rates, DS-2, and other items.
